NOTE: The following is taken from summaries released by PEPFAR on the PEPFAR Data Dashboard. They are incomplete summary paragraphs only and do not contain the full mechanism details. When the full narratives are released, we will update the mechanism pages accordingly.

The goal of the SUSTAIN Project is to reduce the morbidity and mortality due to HIV infection in Nigeria through three key strategic objectives focused on prevention, care and treatment and increased capacity of GON and FBOs to effectively manage HIV programs. SUSTAIN objectives are in line with the GON and USG Partnership Framework that seeks to reposition prevention of new HIV infections, increase access to ART and ensure PLHIV have access to quality and support services.

In COP13 CCFN is providing comprehensive HIV care and treatment services through 30 CCT facilities, 80 PMTCT facilities and 8 CBOs in Benue, Nassarawa, Plateau, FCT, Kogi, Kaduna, Delta, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Ogun, Kano and Lagos states. In COP14, CCFN will strategically increase access to services through an expansion plan driven by the HIV epidemiology, context, current response, and the costs of providing services in the FCT, Kaduna, Benue, Nassarawa and Lagos states. In Kaduna, SUSTAIN will increase treatment by 50% and actively scale up PMTCT services. In Benue, Nassarawa, FCT and Logos States, CCFN will increase treatment by 10% and strategically scale up PMTCT services. Pediatric ART coverage continue to remain low, CCFN will adopt best practices to increase pediatric uptake. SUSTAIN will continue to maintain the level of services without expansion in Plateau, Kogi, Kano, Delta, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, and Ogun states.

CCFN will continue to do the right things by adopting proven and evidence based interventions at the least cost for the highest coverage and quality. SUSTAIN will concomitantly strengthen health systems and quality management; institutionalize continuous quality improvement practices and improve partnership between faith based health organizations and GON.

Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.
